Job 39:3

Job 39:24

Job 39:24and he will not believe until the trumpet sounds.

Job 39:25

Job 39:25And when the trumpet sounds, he says, Aha! and afar off he smells the war with prancing and neighing.

Job 39:26

Job 39:26And does the hawk remain steady by thy wisdom, having spread out her wings unmoved, looking toward the region of the south?

Job 39:27And does the eagle rise at thy command, and the vulture remain sitting over his nest,

Job 39:28

Job 39:28on a crag of a rock, and in a secret place?

Job 39:29

Job 39:29Thence he seeks food, his eyes observe from far.
